Solar Gard\u00ae Antimicrobial Films<\/h1>\n

Designed to be easily replaced, Solar Gard Antimicrobial Films provide a virtually invisible barrier that protects flat surfaces from permanent damage. They also feature BioCote\u00ae proprietary silver ion technology, which is applied during the manufacturing process of these films.<\/p>\n

Silver\u2019s scientifically proven antimicrobial properties protect these films from the negative effects of microbes by inhibiting their growth on the protected film\u2019s surface. With a long history of success as an antimicrobial, silver is one of the most widely used technologies in the world.<\/p>\n

The BioCote\u00ae technology<\/a> in Solar Gard Antimicrobial Films reduces microbial activity the moment microbes come in contact with the surface, protecting the film from odor and stain causing microbes to keep it cleaner and fresher for longer.<\/p>\n

Did you know?<\/h4>\n

Every day we come into contact with millions of invisible microorganisms, including bacteria, mold and fungi. These microbes can have negative effects on products, including odors, staining and material degradation that can lead to early product failure.[\/vc_message][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=”stretch_row” el_id=”what-is-amf” css=”.vc_custom_1606347709214{background: #f7f7f7 url(https:\/\/www.solargard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/bg-oct-wave-gry.png?id=91828) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;}”][vc_row top_margin=”sm” bottom_margin=”sm”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

What are Antimicrobials and How Do They Work?<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top_margin=”none” bottom_margin=”none” el_id=”what-is-am-video”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Antimicrobials, like those contained within Solar Gard 4 Mil AM with BioCote technology<\/strong>, negatively affect the growth of microorganisms in various ways. They can damage essential proteins, leading to failure of energy production, or disrupt the microbe membrane, altering structural integrity. They can also cause oxidative damage, resulting in damage to the internal systems of the microbe as well as interfere with DNA to prevent microbe replication.<\/p>\n
